I actually agree with that

but some of the tilting going on here last night was excessive. We scored plenty of goals last season and we've swapped that for stability. We were almost certain to go on a bad run at some point, but I think we have enough quality to stay up and then spend the money wisely in the summer.

People are acting like Becchio is guaranteed to be useless. The way I look at is that Championship club's best players are often pretty good at clubs like ours. Huckerby was decent enough in the prem, as are Holt, Graham, Le Fondre, Lambert etc etc. I'm really happy that we've bought him in, he's in the form of his life and this is his only chance to prove he's something more than a Championship player.
